Mine so far seems to be hardware as it fails when the phone gets hot, and works if I restart once it's cooled off

Sony is even worse than ASUS in regards to length of software and security updates. It hasn't been a deal breaker for me, but I have a Xperia 5 III and at only 3.5 years I am beginning to have issues with my fingerprint reader.
Apparently it's a fairly widespread issue that moisture can get in the edges and degrade the backing, and they are still to this day using the same fingerprint reader design. I'm pretty irritated about it. I feel like I could get at least another year out of this phone otherwise, but it's surprisingly annoying to have to go back to passwords for app logins.

They didn't even use WhatsApp or signal, they were literally plain unencrypted texting

If you can tint your windows then they won't see you discreetly take the detector down if they pull you over, I did that a couple times years ago and never got called out

As an Xperia 5 III user I'm feeling very left out

SSO is single sign on, so you don't need individual username and password for every service. It's a bit more advanced so don't worry about it until you have what you want working properly for a while.

DNS is like the yellow pages of the internet - when you type www.google.com your computer uses a DNS server to look up what actual IP address corresponds to the website name. The point of Adguard or pihole is that when a website tries to load an ad your custom DNS server just says it doesn't recognize the address

Check out Cosmos, I struggled piecing things together but when I restarted from scratch with this as the base is has been SO much easier to get services working, while still being able to see how things work under the hood.

It's basically a docker manager with integrated reverse proxy and OpenID SSO capability, with optional VPN and storage management

Funny that decades of the GOP sabotaging progress on renewable energy like solar and wind, and torpedoing research into modernizing the power grid - specifically because it would make deploying renewable easier, will end up helping to hand the lead of possibly the most consequential industry of the 21st century over to China.
